The Big Unit Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Tried looking to see if anyone else has posted this but I don't see it anywhere.... In the game this year, are you forced to play with 32 bit resolution? I can't change mine to 16 anywhere. I know all of the places to look to change it but all I ever get is a 32 bit option. 1024x768, 800x600, etc... I know that makes the game look the best obviously and I'm not complaining one bit because this is by far the best version of MVP to ever come out, and I have way more than enough video card wise to run the game on with 32 bit resolution but I've never seen a game before (MVP included) where you didn't at least have the option of going down to 16 bit if you wanted to. Is that just the way the game is this year and we don't have a choice? Because I have a friend who swears he can change his to 16 bit. He also has a crappy card so I'm wondering if somehow the game knows that and offers those with a crappy card the ability to change to 16 and knows that those who can more than handle it at 32 aren't even offered an otion to change? Or is he seeing things and he really can't change to 16? This has me stumped...... Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Unit Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 What kind of card do you have then if 16 bit is an option for you? Is it a really lower end card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbmagicfan Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 yep its only a geforce 2 32mb video card. going to upgrade it soon. i get best FPS at 800x600 16 bit. i get mid 40's fps with vsync off if i do 800x600 32 bit i get mid 30's fps with vsync off. if i have vsync on, i get only 30 fps tops. for low end video card, best to have vsync off in game and on video card.

The Big Unit Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks magicfan. That makes me think somehow that the game knows if your card is one of the higher end cards it won't offer a 16 bit option because my friend's card was similar to yours and he had 16 as an option too, but mine like I said, which is mid to higher end has 32 as an option. Keep them coming guys. Trying to see if my theory is right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big shmooz Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Wow, you're right. I never noticed that before, I am so used to only playing in 32 bit that I didn't notice that in this game it did not even offer me a 16 bit option. (I have a "Nvidia ge force 6800 ultra". card.)
